    Olympic swimmer Tom Dean dives deep into the discipline and determination it takes to compete at the highest level, reflecting on the years of early mornings, gruelling sessions and the mindset that keeps him pushing for more.

    What happens when you give everything and still fall short?

    After receiving countless DMs about the Enhanced Games, I finally decided to talk about it. All in all, I find it pretty uninteresting. A former swimmer got jacked and then some other former swimmer threw on a bodysuit in an empty pool and went kind of fast. What now? It’s redundant, it send the wrong message to young swimmers, and the marketing copy used surrounding these “World Records” is weak.
